Thanks for the info, I'm not sure why but I'm unable to access
endofthelinebbs.com the connection times out so am unable to see the files you
have pointed to. Out of interest what editor do you use to edit your menu files
that accepts ESC as an ASCII entry?

My current BBS is sending the Mode 7 graphics via terminal using 8n1, obvoiusly
it only displays the mode 7 graphics on a terminal that supports it (so either
an acorn computer with filtering off in whichever comms software you use (e.g.
commstar) or either of the PC connection options here
http://beebs.ddns.net/connecting.html)...or just good old syncterm, but
displays as vt100 or ANSI depending on what you select.

I was hoping there might be some BBS package out there that will just bget the
file as is rather than trying to process it. Feel free to check out
beebs.ddns.net to see the mode 7 graphics over terminal.
